▀▄ eas | 2020 Z4 M40i Baseline dyno - Dynojet

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Just wanted to share some baseline numbers for a new 2020 Z4 M40i on our dynojet. Peak numbers are 381/381, closely matching BMW's BHP ratings.

* Numbers are at the wheels, on 91 octane.






More to come..

You're measuring at the rear wheels, yes? Then I'd say they're better than BMWs numbers which are presumably just the engine?

Yep, I assumed that's what he was trying to say?...... 15% driveline loss would put it at around 448hp net flywheel and 10% would put it at 424hp net flywheel. Good numbers in any case. :-)

Funny thing was when I first test drove an M40i and was worried about the power compared to my V8 Ftype, the sales manager said that BMW typically underrates their engines and that the net flywheel rating would be what I could expect at the rear wheels.....guess he was right on the money. Car certainly felt faster than I expected though the 400lb weight advantage vs. my F type was responsible for some of that...

Why does Bmw consistently do this? Insurance, regulation, laws?

Maybe because BMW knows no matter what, there are ppl who will tune the engines. So give them some room for fun without getting engines blown.

I know some say this car looks like a frog but I disagree. I love that grey color. Porsche's look like 'frogs' but you never hear anybody ripping on those?

I assume M340i xdrive is going to less because of awd. Maybe 350~360hp at wheel.

Bmw doesn't reduce the power of their awd cars like ford does. They know how to make powertrains that don't blow up with stock power...

I mean AWD drivetrains loss is more than RWD

Absolutely. 91 has been terrible lately.

What do you mean? Like early models have more HP than later ones?

You mean measured, not rated right?

Why do people say the loss in % in the transmission?
15% on a 1000hp engine would be 150hp loss but only 15hp loss in a 100hp engine.

My M4 has about 64hp loss in the driveline. That would be 64hp loss nomatter how many hp it has, right?
